This is my first attempt at creating a realistic model in Illustrious. After receiving a master class from QH96 on how it works and the differences with Pony, I decided to venture into Illustrious. I immediately began to notice the differences, mainly in understanding the prompt and many qualities and I fell in love immediately, I spent countless hours trying to perfect a model that would adapt to my tastes with what I had experienced in Pony and finally arrived at a result that I charm and I found it worth sharing, you will surely find some flaws since I declare myself not an expert but I hope you like it as much as I do, it is important to follow the parameters since it has many limitations, especially in terms of samplers, the parameters that I used are :
The VAE is not baked, use SDXL_vae
Upscaler: Im using Latent(antialiased) upscale 1.5 Steps 6 denois 0.35 Hires CFG 1.2, sometimes i use Remacri_original, less realistic but with cleaner images
Width and height: 896*1152
CFG Scale: 1.2
Steps: 8
The sampling method i use is Euler A-SGM Uniform
I don't like to put my models in early access because I like everyone to have access from the moment I publish it but any tips and Buzz are welcome.
